0.2 : Kyle Mayers to Michael Jones, FOUR! Jones is off the mark in style! First boundary of the game! Mayers looks to bowl an inswinging yorker but ends up serving a full toss, it is driven through covers for a boundary.
0.3 : Kyle Mayers to Michael Jones, FOUR! Two in a row and this is a shot full of confidence! Jones now takes a few steps ahead and makes this into a full toss, he does not look to hit it hard but just times it past cover. The outfield is quite fast and it races away to the fence.

2.1 : Kyle Mayers to George Munsey, FOUR! Whipped away! On the pads, Munsey loves it there, he whips it behind square on the leg side for a boundary. Mayers is leaking boundaries here.
2.2 : Kyle Mayers to George Munsey, FOUR! Two in a row! Mayers is looking for that outswing and hence, is starting from the leg pole. No swing and it is easy pickings for Munsey who yet again flicks it wide of deep square leg for another boundary.

3.6 : Alzarri Joseph to George Munsey, That is well fielded! Two to end yet another big over for the batting side! Shorter and on the body, Munsey pulls it towards short fine leg. The fielder dives to his left and gets a hand to it. Saves two for his side.

It has started to rain and it is coming down quite hard. The umpires though are willing to continue. The groundsmen are seen getting ready.
Review time! A loud shout for an LBW is turned down. Windies review. Looks high.
5.3 : Obed McCoy to George Munsey, NOT OUT! It is clipping the top of middle! Umpire's call! Not a bad review by the Windies. They retain it but do not get the wicket. This is on middle, Munsey walks across and looks to flick it on the leg side but misses. It hits the thigh pad. A huge appeal but turned down. Windies review but replays show that the on-field call will remain.
The plays now make their way off! They are not rushing into the dressing room so that might be signs that it is not that heavy and they expect it to pass by. For now though, we are in for a delay as the covers are on. Let us hpe it is a short one. Also, the Windies might now mind this break, the openers were really giving their bowlers a hammering and a break can just take that momentum away from the batters.
We still have some time before we start losing some overs! For now though, the drizzle remains and the covers are firmly on. There seems to be a strong wind blowing so we are hoping it clears quickly.
UPDATE 1030 IST (0500 GMT) - GOOD NEWS! The rain has stopped and the covers are coming off. It should not be long before we resume.
UPDATE 1034 IST (0504 GMT) - The news just gets better! We have a time! Play is expected to begin at 1045 IST (0515 GMT).
The players are out in the middle and we are all set to resume. NO OVERS LOST! Obed McCoy will continue his over. Here we go...
5.5 : Obed McCoy to Michael Jones, First run after the delay! Fuller and on off, this is driven hard to mid off for one.
5.4 : Obed McCoy to Michael Jones, A dot to begin after the break! Shorter and outside off, Jones looks to cut but is beaten.
5.5 : Review! An appeal for LBW but turned down! Pooran is quick to review but the impact seemsan issue. The Windies' players are already back to their positions as they too feel the impact is outside off.
5.6 : Obed McCoy to George Munsey, NOT OUT! The impact is outside off and Windies lose a review! Munsey walks down the track. Obed McCoy goes very full and gets it to shape back in from outside off. Munsey fails to put bat on ball as he tries to flick and gets hit on the pad. A huge appeal but it is turned down. The batters take one as it rolls on the off side. Pooran reviews but in vain. Leg bye signaled. A good Powerplay for Scotland. They are 54 for 0 after it.
6.1 : Jason Holder to George Munsey, Full and on the pads, George Munsey looks to flick but misses, it hits the pad and rolls on the leg side for one. Leg bye.
6.2 : Jason Holder to Michael Jones, OUT! TIMBER! That is a beauty! Why has Jason Holder not been given the ball all this while? Makes an impact straightaway and breaks the opening stand. That is exactly the start Windies would have wanted after the break. This is on a length, it lands outside off and jags back in. Jones looks to flick it on the leg side but misses, it hits the pad and then goes onto hit the stumps. A good opening stand comes to an end. The two laid the platform. Will Scotland bu
6.3 : Jason Holder to Matthew Cross, Cross is off the mark! Fuller and on middle, this is hit down to long on for one.

8.1 : Jason Holder to George Munsey, Angled into the pads, this is clipped through mid-wicket for one.
8.2 : Jason Holder to Matthew Cross, OUT! TAKEN! Another wicket for Holder and the braek has worked wonders. Run scoring has been tough after that and Windies have gotten two wickets too. A short one on middle, this gets big on the batter. Cross looks to pull but fails to get on top of the bounce, it goes off the splice and the fielder at mid on, Shamarh Brooks moves to his left and takes it nicely.

9.5 : Odean Smith to George Munsey, Another one on the shorter side, Munsey looks to pull, this goes off the glove too and towards fine leg for another one.
9.6 : Odean Smith to Richie Berrington, Not sure why the fielder did not go for the catch! Shorter and outside off, Richie Berrington slashes at it, it goes off the outside edge towards third man. Akeal Hosein runs back and across rather than ahead. He collects the ball on the bounce and also concedes an extra run. Two in total. Pooran is not happy and rightly so.

10.2 : Akeal Hosein to Richie Berrington, Flatter and on off, this is pushed towards cover for one.

10.5 : Akeal Hosein to Richie Berrington, SIX! That is massive, that is huge, huge hit! What connection, what sound and it is a welcome one for the Windies. Also, this shot shows how true this wicket is. On middle, flatter. Richie Berrington whacks it, he gets the middle and it sails over the mid-wicket fence.
10.6 : Akeal Hosein to Richie Berrington, A dot to end then! Shorter and outside off, this is guided to point. A good over for Scotland.

Mayers gets to the ball and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses.
11.4 : Alzarri Joseph to George Munsey, Shorter and on the body, Munsey pulls it towards deep square leg for one.
11.5 : Alzarri Joseph to Richie Berrington, OUT! TAKEN! The short ball does the trick yet again! Alzarri Joseph strikes! The extra pace does the job. Shorter and on middle, Richie Berrington looks to pull but it hits the splice as he is late on the shot and lobs to mid-wicket. Kyle Mayers takes an easy catch.
11.6 : Alzarri Joseph to Calum MacLeod, That is really quick! Unlucky to be called a wide but that was good pace! Short and on middle, this one zips through. Calum MacLeod somehow gets out of the way.

13.5 : Obed McCoy to Calum MacLeod, FOUR! That is a powerful stroke! Consecutive boundaries and this is turning out to be a really good over for Scotland! This is full and on off, Calum MacLeod makes room and lifts it over cover for a boundary.

Alzarri Joseph to George Munsey, On the pads, this is worked through square leg for one. Fifty for Munsey! He started off really well but has slowed down after the Powerplay. He though would hope he can help his side finish well.

17.2 : Obed McCoy to Chris Greaves, FOUR! Not sure what the fine leg fielder did there? Akeal Hosein has not had a good day in the field! He was pushed back to fine leg but he was standing quite ahead of the ropes. This is bowled short. Greaves goes for the pull, it flies off the top edge towards fine leg. Akeal Hosein runs in but then realises he has to go back. Too late as the ball goes over him and into the fence. Two boundaries to begin this over. Can they make this into a big over?

18.2 : Alzarri Joseph to George Munsey, A good short one now outside off, Munsey looks to cut but misses.
18.3 : Alzarri Joseph to George Munsey, NOT OUT! That is a poor review! It has pitched outside leg. Windies have lost both their reviews now! This is full and on the pads. Munsey looks to play the paddle scoop but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal but turned down. It rolls on the leg side. A leg bye taken. It is reviewed but in vain. Just the one run from the first three balls.

18.5 : Alzarri Joseph to George Munsey, A yorker on off, this is jammed out through covers for one. Can he end the over well now?
18.6 : Alzarri Joseph to Chris Greaves, Yes, he does! Just the two. Should have been only a single though! On middle, this is pulled towards deep mid-wicket. They take one. The throw is a wayward one towards the keeper and another run is taken. Still though, a top penultimate over from Alzarri Joseph!
19.1 : Odean Smith to George Munsey, FOUR! Finds the gap! A welcome boundary for Munsey and his side! Shorter and on middle, this is pulled wide of mid-wicket for a boundary. A boundary to begin the last. 160 is still possible.

19.5 : Odean Smith to George Munsey, FOUR! A gift, a full toss and Munsey puts it away! He slams it down the ground and it races away to the fence. Can he now hit a biggie and help his side cross the 160-run mark?
19.6 : Odean Smith to George Munsey, WIDE! A boundary now will do too! Well wide outside off. Left alone.
Odean Smith to George Munsey, EDGY FOUR! That flies off the outside edge and down to the third man fence! A boundary to end and that is a big last over. Scotland have touched the 160-run mark! This is full and outside off, Munsey swings, it goes off the outside edge and down to the third man fence.
Scotland have got themselves to a competitive score but pretty sure they would have wanted a lot more especially after the start they got off too. They were going at around 9 per over in the Powerplay but after the rain break, they just could not go on with the same momentum. They lost wickets at regular intervals and scoring was also not easy. A few batters in the middle order got off to starts but could not go on. Munsey played throughout but he too slowed down after the break and quite drasti
West Indies were not that great with the new ball but post the 6, they really executed their plans well. The likes of Holder, Alzarri Joseph and Odean Smith were really good with the short balls. Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder were easily the pick. Except for his last over Smith did a really good job. The likes of Obed McCoy and Mayers though went for a few. Still though, West Indies will be pleased with how they managed to pull things back.
Now the wicket is a decent one to bat on and Windies will back themselves to chase this down. However, we did see Namibia defend something similar in the first game of the World Cup and Scotland will know if they get early wickets, they are well and truly in this game. Can they do so?
0.1 : Mark Watt to Kyle Mayers, A very full delivery to begin with! On off, it is jammed back to the bowler.
0.2 : Mark Watt to Kyle Mayers, Gets that to swing back in! It starts outside off and comes back in. Mayers looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal but turned down. Going down leg.
0.3 : Mark Watt to Kyle Mayers, On the stumps, flatter. Defended again. Good start by Watt.
0.4 : Mark Watt to Kyle Mayers, And again, gets it to tail back in from outside off, it is fuller, Mayers hits it down to long on for one.
0.5 : Mark Watt to Evin Lewis, Was that a chance? Maybe! Down the leg side. Evin Lewis looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad and goes to the keeper who fails to take it cleanly.

1.4 : Brad Wheal to Kyle Mayers, FOUR! Nicely guided! Shorter and outside off, Mayers guides it past point and this one races away to the fence. Two boundaries in a row. Not the kind of over Scotland would have wanted after a tidy first one.
1.5 : Brad Wheal to Kyle Mayers, Angled into the pads, Mayers works it through square leg and takes one.
1.6 : Brad Wheal to Evin Lewis, Good length and on off, Lewis defends it back to the bowler.

2.2 : Josh Davey to Kyle Mayers, FOUR! Up and over! Really classy shot! Fuller and on middle, Mayers lifts it over the bowler's head towards long off. It lands and slows down. Long on runs to his right and dives but can't stop it. Runs flowing now.
2.3 : Josh Davey to Kyle Mayers, SIX! Over the fence. That is easy pickings for Mayers! On the pads, he whips it over square leg for a biggie. Dealing in boundaries now is Mayers.
2.4 : Josh Davey to Kyle Mayers, OUT! TAKEN! That is a superb catch! George Munsey did it with the bat earlier on and now in the field. Just can't keep him out of the game and Mayers who was getting into his element, falls. This is full and on middle, Mayers looks to flick it uppishly but is through the shot early. It may have been a slower one. It goes high up in the air towards mid-wicket. George Munsey runs back and takes a good catch with a slide. He had to be aware about the deep square leg
2.5 : Josh Davey to Brandon King, Solid from King! Length and on off, he defends it nicely.
2.6 : Josh Davey to Brandon King, Another dot to end! On off, blocked.

3.5 : Safyaan Sharif to Evin Lewis, WIDE! Another wide! Down the leg side. Lewis looks to pull but misses. Not sure if that is the line one would want to bowl to Lewis.

YET ANOTHER UPSET! Windies have been beaten by Scotland and quite convincingly. A brilliant performance with the ball by them. They began brilliantly as they got a wicket early in the Powerplay but it was the overs after the Powerplay that was good. The likes of Watt and Michael Leask really made run-scoring tough and both got crucial wickets. They finished with 5 between them and and only gave away 26 in the 8 overs bowled by them. Those 8 overs really turned the game completely in the favor of
West Indies will be very disappointed with their performace! They were extremely poor with the bat. They were off to a good start but post the 6th over, they lost wickets in heaps. After the top three, just the one batter crossed the 10-run mark and that was Holder. The game just came all down to his performance but it was too much of an ask from him. In the end, they have fallen short by a big margin.
Earlier in the day, after being inserted, Scotland posted a decent total of 160 thanks to a really good effort by Munsey. However, that score seemed under par at first but a brilliant effort by the ball and some poor batting meant, it was Scotland who finished on top.
... TIME FOR THE PRESENTATION ...
George Munsey. MAN OF THE MATCH SAYS, the injury is not that okay and they will see what they have to do in the coming days. Adds they gave it their all in the field and Mark Watt was brilliant. Reckons it got trickier to bat as the ball went old but he enjoyed it at the start.
Nicholas Pooran says it is a tough loss for them. Reckons, 160 was a par score but the middle order was quite poor. Admits they need to play better in the coming games which are must-win. States they are looking forward for the next games.
Richie Berrington says it was hard work and it is a special win for them. Adds they wanted a few more runs but they knew they had a competitive score on the board. Credits the way the bowlers bowled and he is very pleased.
That is it from this game then! Another game follows and that is a clash between Zimbabwe and Ireland! Stay tuned for that one as it will begin shortly. Until next time, take care and goodbye!
